Here's yet another new, properly sized level... featuring a BALDING-SHAPED DEATH CHAMBER!
This is a quite hard level, featuring three-tile wide jumps, several traps, a few chances to be crushed against the ceiling, and lots of hatred and nachos (not really). This would probably be a bonus or boss level because of the bizarre layout and high difficulty.
Level elements:The
numbered platforms are initially deactivated; the player has to activate them using the respective
numbered switches (which could be levers or buttons or computers or whatever else).
The
elevator acts like a moving platform, except it is only activated when Balding step on it and its movement does not loop (it goes up, down and stops until it is triggered again).
The
enemy moves horizontally, is fast and randomly changes the direction of his movement. I don't know what it is.
Goo probably isn't Bezzy's game and isn't necessarily
goo - it indicates one type of tile which ignores falling damage, so Balding can fall as high as he wants and not die if landing on it.
When our bald hero steps on one of the
Crumbling Floor Tiles©, which are areas where the floor has cracked, he inevitably falls to his death - the tile immediately breaks, not giving any chance for Balding to hold onto a ledge or jump away.
The
shooting blades tile is a device that shoots blades (
) every two seconds or so. Needless to say, the blades kill the character instantly, as do the
circular saws.
Expected level flow:The player first heads (no pun intended) to the key in the head's right eye, evading the shooting blades. Then, he executes a three-tile wide jump to land on the goo, so he can reach and activate the first switch. The first platform starts moving (horizontally). He goes all the way back to the crumbling floor, jumps over it and uses the vertically-moving platform to reach the recently activated platform, which is then used to activate the second switch.
Going down is now quite tricky, as there is an abyss right below. For the player not to die, he has to grab on the ledge of the first platform and jump down*, carefully watching for the enemy.
Then he heads for the second key, crouching when using the moving platform above the door so he does not fall in the circular saws. Another three-tile wide jump gets him past the upper saws, and he grabs the key (again watching for the blades).
He opens the first door, grabs the disk, goes back to the other door, opens it and exits.
* I wasn't completely sure about the maximum falling height, so it may be necessary to put this platform one tile up so the player has to grab on the ledge before falling not to be crushed.So, what you think?
